CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Illinois Democratic Party rallies against Vice President Mike Pence in Rosemont – Rachel Hinton
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/supporters-protesters-rosemont-pence-tax-cut-speech/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The new Illinois Democratic Party executive director rallied protesters in Rosemont on Friday in advance of a speech by Vice President Mike Pence touting President Donald Trump’s tax-cut policy. Pence’s speech, titled “Tax Cuts to Put America First,” is part of a series sponsored by America First Policies, a non-profit organization that promotes the policies of the Trump Administration — the Rosemont stop is the 17th on the tour. Other speakers at the event included U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., and Gov. Bruce Rauner, who was to introduce Pence. At previous speeches in Iowa and Kansas City, Pence talked about energy, agriculture and labor plans that were all implemented to achieve Trump’s campaign promise to “Make America great again.” In Rosemont, people from around the state, decked out in flag shawls and bright red “Make America Great Again” baseball caps, waited to hear from the vice president.)

https://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/david-st-pierre-metropolitan-water-reclamation-district-buyout/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Once again, a public agency, without bothering to clue in the taxpayers, is throwing money at a top employee as he heads out the door. This time, on Thursday, it was the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. The agency that handles our local storm and sewage water agreed to pay $95,000 to its former executive director, David St. Pierre, along with six months’ worth of health insurance, according to the Better Government Association. The vote came two weeks after St. Pierre resigned, and seven weeks after he quietly went on paid leave.)

DAILY HERALD
— Pence fires up voters for upcoming midterm elections – Christopher Placek and Jake Griffin
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20180713/pence-fires-up-voters-for-upcoming-midterm-elections
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Almost immediately after Pence took the stage, protesters inside the Westin O’Hare grand ballroom made their presence known. In total, Pence’s speech was interrupted five times by protesters, who were escorted out of the building by police. One woman held a yellow flag that read, “Trump and Pence must go.” When Pence began to praise U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, of Wheaton, a man said, “Has anyone seen Peter Roskam? I haven’t seen him. Where is he?” Each time, the crowd of about 600 chanted “USA! USA!” Tickets to the event, called “Tax Cuts to Put America First,” were free and available by registering on the website of America First Policies, the group connected to the pro-Trump America First Action super PAC. “Thanks for coming out today. I’m really grateful for almost everybody that came,” Pence joked to the crowd. “I respect everybody that came. That’s what freedom sounds like.” Rosemont authorities said no one was charged, and they described the protest of some 100 people outside the hotel as peaceful. Police, at the behest of the Secret Service, pushed protesters across River Road to the east sidewalk northeast of the hotel. Rosemont public safety officers used their bikes as crowd control. Pence’s caravan used a back entrance, avoiding the protesters. “We are advocating getting rid of the Trump/Pence regime through persistent, persistent nonviolent protests,” said Tricey Morelli, spokesman for the Chicago chapter of Refuse Fascism.)

Nevertheless, they have made it very clear that if they had been qualified to take the jobs that I took, they would not have taken them. The jobs that I took are beneath them. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Pot pushers push pot. If/when pot is legalized in Illinois, and if municipalities will be able to bar the sale of pot in their jurisdictions, I will lead the effort to bar the sale of pot in Wheaton.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-bc-us–canada-marijuana-legalization-things-to-know-20180621-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s up to the provinces and territories to determine how to handle distribution, and they’re taking a variety of approaches. Ontario plans to open up to 150 stores run by its Liquor Control Board — a model of public ownership that is unusual in the U.S. The tiny Washington state town of North Bonneville has one city-owned pot shop. British Columbia is planning for a mix of public and privately owned stores, while Newfoundland and Saskatchewan will have only private pot shops. In some remote areas where stand-alone marijuana stores might not be economically feasible, including in the Northwest Territories, cannabis could be sold at existing liquor stores. Just like U.S. states with legal pot, the provinces also differ on home-growing, with many allowing up to four plants and others, including Quebec, barring it. And rather than a minimum age of 21, as U.S. states have set, Canada’s federal minimum age to use marijuana will be 18, with most provinces adding an additional year. The varying approaches make the provinces something of a laboratory for determining the best ways to legalize, said Matt Gray, founder and chief executive of Herb, a Toronto-based news and social media platform for the pot industry.)

Morrison is running against incumbent and Illinois Republican Party Chair Timothy Schneider. Illinois state Rep. Greg Harris said this night will be remembered because Morrison “is going places” politically. Harris noted that the 15th county commissioner race is important because he is running against one of the most prominent Republicans in Illinois.)

June 19 Morning Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— OUTSTANDINGLY, 19 REPUBLICANS HELP SPONSOR WHEATON’S INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE AND FIREWORKS! Illinois Republican Party leader and Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar has pledged $500, Judge Jeff MacKay has pledged $250, and DuPage County Forest Preserve Commissioner Tim Whelan has pledged $150. Bob Berlin, Dan Cronin, Tim Elliott, Amy Grant, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Marty Keller, Deanne Mazzochi, Dave Molitor, John Monino, Chris Nybo, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Phil Suess, Kevin Wiley, and Karen Wilson have each pledged $100.

 

As a $2,500 Star sponsor, DuPage County Republicans will get credit for sponsoring the Tunes of Glory bagpipers and the Wheaton North and South High School bands in the parade. DuPage Republicans will again have a booth at the fireworks the evening before the parade. I will again hand deliver a flyer to all the residences and businesses on the parade route that lists the Republican entries in the parade, the Republican sponsors, and the amount that they contributed. The flyers will be printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics and I plan on delivering them on Thursday, June 21.

 

So far, Republican entries in the parade are Peter Roskam, Peter Breen/Amy Grant, Paul Hinds, James Mendrick, Grant Eckhoff/Tim Elloitt/Chris Zaruba, Jeff McKay, Karen Wilson, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee. Please help me encourage Republican candidates on November 6 ballots in Wheaton to have an entry in Wheaton’s Independence Day parade. Those candidates include Bruce Rauner and Evelyn Sanguinetti, Erika Harold, Jason Helland, Darlene Senger, Jim Dodge, Mike Connelly, Chris Nybo, Darlene Ruscitti, Dan Cronin, Gwen Henry, Kevin Wiley, Jim Zay, Al Murphy, and Joseph Cantore. The deadline for parade entries has been extended to June 20 and the cost is $180.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DETHRONING PRITZKER – Natasha Korecki (DIERSEN: Have you appealed your property taxes? I did during the 1980s and 1990s. I won a reduction from the Property Tax Appeal Board. I should write a book about it and about how I have been punished for it ever since.)
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2018/06/19/immigration-debate-roils-gop-pritzker-places-1m-behind-separation-ads-jbs-toilets-vs-rauners-9-homes-280517
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Finally! We have a campaign ad out of Team Rauner that focuses on something other than imprisoned ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Instead, it zooms in on Pritzker’s Cook County property tax appeal that involved pulling toilets from a mansion abutting his own Chicago mansion. This was from a 2017 Tim Novak special that reported Pritzker disconnected toilets from an Astor street property abutting his Chicago home to classify it as “vacant and uninhabitable.” Pritzker ended up with a $230,000 property tax break. Watch “Porcelain Prince” Pritzker quickly retaliated in his own new TV ad taking a shot at Rauner’s wealth, his nine homes and past property tax appeals. But what’s likely to be even more controversial is the ad’s assertion that Rauner wanted to raise local property taxes. “Bruce Rauner owns nine homes and he’s appealed his property taxes 22 times. But now he’s attacking somebody else for the same thing? Now that’s bad. But you know what’s worse? Bruce Rauner wants to raise your property taxes. That’s right, Rauner’s budget cost taxpayers more than $1 billion.”)

ILLINOIS FAMILY ACTION
— Gubernatorial Election: What to Do, What to Do… – Laurie Higgins (DIERSEN: To vote for Pritzker is to vote for pot and to vote for even worse things.)
https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/06/gubernatorial-election-what-to-do-what-to-do-_-docx/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Maybe Illinois conservatives, beaten down by Illinois politics and bad governance, badgered by fellow Republicans, and panicking because they focus too much on the short-term nightmarish picture they see before their eyes, will at the last moment fold and vote for Bruce Rauner. That would be a huge mistake. The long-term health of the party, the state, and the nation depends not solely or even centrally on tax rates for businesses but on issues related to respect for human life, marriage, and sexuality. The fact that so many Republicans don’t see that bodes ill for Illinois and America. Having Pinocchio Rauner at the helm of the Republican Party will exacerbate the ignorance on these issues, and the GOP will continue to rot from within. We don’t need any more evidence of Rauner’s unfitness for office, but here goes. On Father’s Day, Rauner chose to demonstrate his contempt—again—for conservative voters by marching in the shameful homosexual “pride” parade in Aurora, Illinois. On the day that commemorates fathers, he marched in a parade that celebrates the intrinsically sterile unions of people who are acquiring children like commodities and intentionally depriving children of fathers (and mothers).)

GAO, while Hickey served as Peter Fitzgerald’s Chief of Staff, Fitzgerald appointed both the district court judge, Amy J. St. Eve, and the attorney who represented GAO, Patrick Fitzgerald. All of the aforesaid made it very clear that they favored patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. Eve granted Patrick Fitzgerald’s motion to deny me my 7th Amendment rights, that is, to deny me a jury trial. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes used that to hint/imply/argue/shout that Peter Fitzgerald, Hickey, Eve, and Patrick Fitzgerald viewed me as being someone who was lazy, stupid, bad, and even worse things.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/madigan-taps-rauners-former-watchdog-to-probe-house-for-failure-and-mistakes/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Madigan spokesman Steve Brown said Hickey will be paid $500 an hour to conduct the investigation. Brown said the funds will come from the Illinois House operations budget. Brown initially told the Sun-Times there was a cap of $50,000 but later said “the final version of the contract does not have a cap.” . . . When Hickey left Rauner’s administration, the governor said in a statement that “her objectivity and fairness can be a model for public servants.” Hickey helped to lead a health care fraud elimination task force and also led an investigation into the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services that uncovered multiple flaws. Hickey left the administration to join the Schiff Hardin LLP law firm as a partner. Hickey also served as an investigative counsel for a U.S. Senate committee and as the chief of staff for former Sen. Peter Fitzgerald, R-Ill. But as a Rauner political appointee, she was blocked by Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, as well as Mayor Rahm Emanuel last year to replace former U.S. Attorney Zach Fardon in the Northern District of Illinois.)

http://www.breitbart.com/2018-elections/2018/06/17/gop-pr-ryan-amnesty-not-amnesty-you-are-looking-for/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The message tries to downplay the demand by GOP donors for more cheap labor, yet it describes immigration as a tool for business groups and also reveals that Ryan plans to expand the H-2B visa-worker program. Some of the phrases chosen by McMorris Rodgers are even plagiarized from pro-amnesty speeches by President Barack Obama, who also supported cheap-labor immigration.)
— Schumer: Ryan’s Amnesty Bill is ‘Doomed to Fail’ For Cutting Legal Immigration – Neil Munro
http://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2018/06/18/schumer-ryan-amnesty-bill-doomed-fail/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: No immigration bill can get through the Senate without support from 60 Senators. That high number means a bill has to be backed by roughly 15 Democratic Senators plus nearly all of the GOP’s cheap-labor caucus, which includes at least 20 Senators out of the 51 GOP members in the Senate. In February, for example, Sen. Susan Collins and eight other GOP Senators pushed a surprise bill that would have provided a priority-amnesty for all 8 million illegal immigrants who are holding jobs.)
